Congratulations, Andrew Ashur of #LucidBots! We’re proud to see our portco founders recognized for their awesome achievements! #ideafundpartners #investors #startup Never forget, great companies can come from anywhere!!
Honored to be recognized as "Dealmaker of the Year" in Charlotte! This award celebrates our Series A raise and the acquisition of Avianna, an AI robotics company—two pivotal moments for Lucid Bots as we push forward in our mission to extend human reach. Even more special was sharing the stage with Mark McDowell, our incredible board member, who was inducted into the Smart Business Dealmakers Hall of Fame. Mark believed in the early vision for Lucid Bots when I was still a student at Davidson College, taking a chance on an idea that many thought was overly ambitious, if not impossible. His belief and guidance have helped transform that vision into reality. We are deeply grateful for his mentorship and proud to celebrate this achievement together.
